Thinking in-house is the only way to get balance in construction law? This role might change your mind.
I'm working with a respected commercial firm with a national footprint, which is growing its Brisbane construction and infrastructure team. They're looking for a Lawyer or Associate who loves the contentious side of construction work.
About the role
The work is roughly 80% back-end and 20% front-end, including:
- construction disputes, from security of payment claims through to complex litigation and arbitration
- variations, delay and defect claims
- some front-end work, including drafting and negotiating construction contracts
- working closely with the partner on complex, high-value matters
This team is known for giving people real responsibility. You won't be stuck on the edges of matters.
About you
- Construction law experience, with a disputes focus
- Purely back-end? That's absolutely fine, front-end experience is a bonus, not a must
- A mid-tier or top-tier background, or a specialist construction firm
- Practical, commercial and keen to grow with the team
What's on offer
- A strong salary package, benchmarked to your experience
- Billable targets set to be genuinely achievable
- Hybrid working
- Hands-on partner mentoring and visible progression
- Health insurance, paid gym membership and a social, supportive office
